Fringe Reviews, Awards, Guides and more from the Daily City
Mark Baratelli's incredible arts and culture blog is going after Fringe in a big way. This year, the Daily City will bring you an opportunity to give back to Fringe. 
Find helpful links, ALL the reviews, festival info, shows, and awards, ALL ON ONE PAGE. That's mobile-phone friendly, and you can't beat that. Mark is a genius, and he's proved it once again.
You all remember Mark from his shows like Improv Cabaret and How Do You Feel?, but Mark has also been the man behind the curtain of the official Fringe web presence for the last few years.
How to Fringe with Beth, Wayburn, Doug and Dewie
Some of your Fringe Faithful have a few things to say about this year's festival, and they've put it in video form. For the lazy, just read the bullet points:
- Save your pennies - Buttons are $8 this year
- Keep it green - your second program is $1
- Tickets will be at the Orlando REP as well. That's Fabulous!
May is a Kickass Month for Arts Events in Orlando
Why is May such a great month for holding events? Sure, for our Northern friends, it means the end of bad weather, the opening of roller coaster parks, and a change in the scenery as the trees and flowers start to show their summer colors, but here in Florida, it’s more like the start of the summer’s hot, humid, rainy monotony, the arrival of the tourists, time-share owners, kids on summer vacation, religious zealots protesting Gay Days, and of course, bad drivers in rental cars.
Desgin the 2008 Orlando Fringe Poster
...and buttons, and inspire the rest of the visuals for the 2008 festival. Last year's protest signs started out sucking, but ended up getting close to a viral user-generated fun thing, so PUSH did one thing right last year.
Here's the announcement from the Orlando Fringe Blog:
Submissions of artwork are being accepted that will be on our 2008 Fringe poster, program cover, special limited edition T-shirts and limited edition buttons.

Juried vs. Non-Juried
There's a conversation about to get started on Beth Marshall's MySpace about juried vs. non-juried festivals. She quotes and article from the Edmonton (Alberta, Canada) newspaper. Here's a bit of it:
In Edinburgh, venuemanagers choose their plays. Professional work, which deserves a wider audience,debuts at the festival.
